Khmer Pumpkin Cakes for Riverkids Children! - by Pheakdey



Everyday, Riverkids’ housemothers look after the children. The children look forward to Wednesdays afternoon because snacks such as traditional Khmer cakes (pumpkins cakes) will be served.

These are ordered from the community maker, Miss. Sreya. She bakes the cakes for 138 children! The cake is made from rice mixed with pumpkin and sugar with an important antioxidant, beta-carotene.

Beta-carotene is one of the plant arytenoids converted to vitamin A, which is good for our bodies. It benefits especially the health of children because it is an important substance required for children’s growth.
